Answer to Question 1

Social cognitive theorists propose that the nonoccurrence of expected punishment can actually be reinforcing. On two occasions, Ms. Wyatt ignores what is, for her, inappropriate behavior: Nick and Derek do not suffer any serious consequences when they choose to talk instead of completing their spelling crossword puzzles, nor does Eldrick when he teases the other two boys. Other students, who have witnessed the lack of punishment on these occasions, may believe that such behaviors are quite acceptable.

Answer to Question 2

Probably not. Ms. Wyatt offers it when most students are almost finished with their maps, and those who have been off-task for any length of time won't be able to catch up sufficiently to be in the running for the free time. Furthermore, by offering the free time to only one group, she is encouraging her students to complete the task quickly rather than to complete it well.
